James S. Rogers, Here are my comments. I think we still have a mystery. Here's why ! If you look at the Federal censuses for 1830 and 1840 for both VA and SC, there are major problems. For example, your SC census for 1840, gives only 3 male sons, and our listing for James gives six sons all born before 1840. Likewise for the female listing: the SC 1840 census gives 5 females, whereas our family listings give 7 females all born before 1840. A similar analysis can be made for Virginia. This is one of the reasons that I have not linked the James Hitt family, since I don't know and can even make a good guess as to who his father and mother are. One other problem, I show that James son of Peter and (?????) Hitt married Elender Duncan, and the fact that they had a daughter that they named "Elender" also raises questions. Was James married twice, or are we talking about two different families. If you have the answer, I for one, would welcome the information. Earl J. Hitt -----Original Message----- From: James S.
